FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention is in the field of pharmaceutical agents and specificallyrelates to compounds, compositions, uses and methods for treatingcancer.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Protein kinases represent a large family of proteins, which play acentral role in the regulation of a wide variety of cellular processes,maintaining control over cellular function. A partial list of suchkinases includes ab1, Akt, bcr-ab1, Blk, Brk, Btk, c-kit, c-Met, c-src,c-fms, CDK1, CDK2, CDK3, CDK4, CDK5, CDK6, CDK7, CDK8, CDK9, CDK10,cRaf1, CSF1R, CSK, EGFR, ErbB2, ErbB3, ErbB4, Erk, Fak, fes, FGFR1,FGFR2, FGFR3, FGFR4, FGFR5, Fgr, flt-1, Fps, Frk, Fyn, Hck, IGF-1R,INS-R, Jak, KDR, Lck, Lyn, MEK, p38, PDGFR, PIK, PKC, PYK2, ros, tie,tie2, TRK, Yes, and Zap70. Inhibition of such kinases has become animportant therapeutic target.

Certain diseases are known to be associated with deregulatedangiogenesis, for example ocular neovascularisation, such asretinopathies (including diabetic retinopathy), age-related maculardegeneration, psoriasis, hemangioblastoma, hemangioma, arteriosclerosis,inflammatory disease, such as a rheumatoid or rheumatic inflammatorydisease, especially arthritis (including rheumatoid arthritis), or otherchronic inflammatory disorders, such as chronic asthma, arterial orpost-transplantational atherosclerosis, endometriosis, and neoplasticdiseases, for example so-called solid tumors and liquid tumors (such asleukemias).

At the center of the network regulating the growth and differentiationof the vascular system and its components, both during embryonicdevelopment and normal growth, and in a wide number of pathologicalanomalies and diseases, lies the angiogenic factor known as VascularEndothelial Growth Factor “(VEGF; originally termed ‘VascularPermeability Factor”, VPF), along with its cellular receptors (see G.Breier et al., Trends in Cell Biology, 6:454-456 (1996)).

VEGF is a dimeric, disulfide-linked 46-kDa glycoprotein related to“Platelet-Derived Growth Factor” (PDGF); it is produced by normal celllines and tumor cell lines; is an endothelial cell-specific mitogen;shows angiogenic activity in in vivo test systems (e.g. rabbit cornea);is chemotactic for endothelial cells and monocytes; and inducesplasminogen activators in endothelial cells, which are involved in theproteolytic degradation of extracellular matrix during the formation ofcapillaries. A number of isoforms of VEGF are known, which showcomparable biological activity, but differ in the type of cells thatsecrete them and in their heparin-binding capacity. In addition, thereare other members of the VEGF family, such as “Placenta Growth Factor”(PlGF) and VEGF-C.

VEGF receptors (VEGFR) are transmembranous receptor tyrosine kinases.They are characterized by an extracellular domain with sevenimmunoglobulin-like domains and an intracellular tyrosine kinase domain.Various types of VEGF receptor are known, e.g. VEGFR-1 (also known asflt-1), VEGFR-2 (also known as KDR), and VEGFR-3.

A large number of human tumors, especially gliomas and carcinomas,express high levels of VEGF and its receptors. This has led to thehypothesis that the VEGF released by tumor cells stimulates the growthof blood capillaries and the proliferation of tumor endothelium in aparacrine manner and through the improved blood supply, acceleratestumor growth. Increased VEGF expression could explain the occurrence ofcerebral edema in patients with glioma. Direct evidence of the role ofVEGF as a tumor angiogenesis factor in vivo is shown in studies in whichVEGF expression or VEGF activity was inhibited. This was achieved withanti-VEGF antibodies, with dominant-negative VEGFR-2 mutants, whichinhibited signal transduction, and with antisense-VEGF RNA techniques.All approaches led to a reduction in the growth of glioma cell lines orother tumor cell lines in vivo as a result of inhibited tumorangiogenesis.

Angiogenesis is regarded as an absolute prerequisite for tumors, whichgrow beyond a diameter of about 1-2 mm; up to this limit, oxygen andnutrients may be supplied to the tumor cells by diffusion. Every tumor,regardless of its origin and its cause, is thus dependent onangiogenesis for its growth after it has reached a certain size.

Three principal mechanisms play an important part in the activity ofangiogenesis inhibitors against tumors: 1) Inhibition of the growth ofvessels, especially capillaries, into avascular resting tumors, with theresult that there is no net tumor growth owing to the balance that isachieved between cell death and proliferation; 2) Prevention of themigration of tumor cells owing to the absence of blood flow to and fromtumors; and 3) Inhibition of endothelial cell proliferation, thusavoiding the paracrine growth-stimulating effect exerted on thesurrounding tissue by the endothelial cells which normally line thevessels. See R. Connell and J. Beebe, Exp. Opin. Ther. Patents,11:77-114 (2001).

VEGF's are unique in that they are the only angiogenic growth factorsknown to contribute to vascular hyperpermeability and the formation ofedema. Indeed, vascular hyperpermeability and edema that is associatedwith the expression or administration of many other growth factorsappears to be mediated via VEGF production.

Inflammatory cytokines stimulate VEGF production. Hypoxia results in amarked upregulation of VEGF in numerous tissues, hence situationsinvolving infarct, occlusion, ischemia, anemia, or circulatoryimpairment typically invoke VEGF/VPF-mediated responses. Vascularhyperpermeability, associated edema, altered transendothelial exchangeand macromolecular extravasation, which is often accompanied bydiapedesis, can result in excessive matrix deposition, aberrant stromalproliferation, fibrosis, etc. Hence, VEGF-mediated hyperpermeability cansignificantly contribute to disorders with these etiologic features. Assuch, regulators of angiogenesis have become an important therapeutictarget.

The hepatocyte growth factor receptor (“c-Met”) is a unique receptortyrosine kinase shown to be overexpressed in a variety of malignancies.c-Met typically comprises, in its native form, a 190-kDa heterodimeric(a disulfide-linked 50-kDa α-chain and a 145-kDa β-chain)membrane-spanning tyrosine kinase protein (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA,84:6379-6383 (1987)). c-Met is mainly expressed in epithelial cells andstimulation of c-Met leads to scattering, angiogenesis, proliferationand metastasis. (See Cytokine and Growth Factor Reviews, 13:41-59(2002)).

The ligand for c-Met is hepatocyte growth factor (also known as scatterfactor, HGF and SF). HGF is a heterodimeric protein secreted by cells ofmesodermal origin (Nature, 327:239-242 (1987); J. Cell Biol.,111:2097-2108 (1990)).

Various biological activities have been described for HGF throughinteraction with c-met (Hepatocyte Growth Factor-Scatter Factor (HGF-SF)and the c-Met Receptor, Goldberg and Rosen, eds., BirkhauserVerlag-Base1, 67-79 (1993). The biological effect of HGF/SF may dependin part on the target cell. HGF induces a spectrum of biologicalactivities in epithelial cells, including mitogenesis, stimulation ofcell motility and promotion of matrix invasion (Biochem. Biophys. Res.Comm., 122:1450-1459 (1984); Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 88:415-419(1991)). It stimulates the motility and invasiveness of carcinoma cells,the former having been implicated in the migration of cells required formetastasis. HGF can also act as a “scatter factor”, an activity thatpromotes the dissociation of epithelial and vascular endothelial cells(Nature, 327:239-242 (1987); J. Cell Biol., 111:2097-2108 (1990); EMBOJ., 10:2867-2878 (1991); Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 90:649-653 (1993)).Therefore, HGF is thought to be important in tumor invasion (HepatocyteGrowth Factor-Scatter Factor (HGF-SF) and the C-Met Receptor, Goldbergand Rosen, eds., Birkhauser Verlag-Base1, 131-165 (1993)).

HGF and c-Met are expressed at abnormally high levels in a large varietyof solid tumors. High levels of HGF and/or c-Met have been observed inliver, breast, pancreas, lung, kidney, bladder, ovary, brain, prostate,gallbladder and myeloma tumors in addition to many others. The role ofHGF/c-Met in metastasis has been investigated in mice using cell linestransformed with HGF/c-Met (J. Mol. Med., 74:505-513 (1996)).Overexpression of the c-Met oncogene has also been suggested to play arole in the pathogenesis and progression of thyroid tumors derived fromfollicular epithelium (Oncogene, 7:2549-2553 (1992)). HGF is a morphogen(Development, 110:1271-1284 (1990); Cell, 66:697-711 (1991)) and apotent angiogenic factor (J. Cell Biol., 119:629-641 (1992)).

Recent work on the relationship between inhibition of angiogenesis andthe suppression or reversion of tumor progression shows great promise inthe treatment of cancer (Nature, 390:404-407 (1997)), especially the useof multiple angiogenesis inhibitors compared to the effect of a singleinhibitor. Angiogenesis can be stimulated by HGF, as well as vascularendothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF).

Angiogenesis, the process of sprouting new blood vessels from existingvasculature and arteriogenesis, the remodeling of small vessels intolarger conduit vessels are both physiologically important aspects ofvascular growth in adult tissues. These processes of vascular growth arerequired for beneficial processes such as tissue repair, wound healing,recovery from tissue ischemia and menstrual cycling. They are alsorequired for the development of pathological conditions such as thegrowth of neoplasias, diabetic retinopathy, rheumatoid arthritis,psoriasis, certain forms of macular degeneration, and certaininflammatory pathologies. The inhibition of vascular growth in thesecontexts has also shown beneficial effects in preclinical animal models.For example, inhibition of angiogenesis by blocking vascular endothelialgrowth factor or its receptor has resulted in inhibition of tumor growthand in retinopathy. Also, the development of pathological pannus tissuein rheumatoid arthritis involves angiogenesis and might be blocked byinhibitors of angiogenesis.

The ability to stimulate vascular growth has potential utility fortreatment of ischemia-induced pathologies such as myocardial infarction,coronary artery disease, peripheral vascular disease, and stroke. Thesprouting of new vessels and/or the expansion of small vessels inischemic tissues prevents ischemic tissue death and induces tissuerepair. Certain diseases are known to be associated with deregulatedangiogenesis, for example ocular neovascularization, such asretinopathies (including diabetic retinopathy), age-related maculardegeneration, psoriasis, hemangioblastoma, hemangioma, arteriosclerosis,inflammatory disease, such as a rheumatoid or rheumatic inflammatorydisease, especially arthritis (including rheumatoid arthritis), or otherchronic inflammatory disorders, such as chronic asthma, arterial orpost-transplantational atherosclerosis, endometriosis, and neoplasticdiseases, for example so-called solid tumors and liquid tumors (such asleukemias). Treatment of malaria and related viral diseases may also bemediated by HGF and cMet.

Elevated levels of HGF and c-Met have also been observed innon-oncological settings, such as hypertension, myocardial infarctionand rheumatoid arthritis. It has been observed that levels of HGFincrease in the plasma of patients with hepatic failure (Gohda et al.,supra) and in the plasma (Hepatol., 13:734-750 (1991)) or serum (J.Biochem., 109:8-13 (1991)) of animals with experimentally induced liverdamage. HGF has also been shown to be a mitogen for certain cell types,including melanocytes, renal tubular cells, keratinocytes, certainendothelial cells and cells of epithelial origin (Biochem. Biophys. Res.Commun., 176:45-51 (1991); Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., 174:831-838(1991); Biochem., 30:9768-9780 (1991); Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA,88:415-419 (1991)). Both HGF and the c-Met proto-oncogene have beenpostulated to play a role in microglial reactions to CNS injuries(Oncogene, 8:219-222 (1993)).

Metastatic SCC cells overexpress c-Met and have enhanced tumoregenesisand metastasis in vivo [G. Gong et al., Oncogene, 23:6199-6208 (2004)].C-Met is required for tumor cell survival [N. Shinomiya et al., CancerResearch, 64:7962-7970 (2004)]. For a general review see C. Birchmeieret al., Nature Reviews/Molecular Biology 4:915-925 (2003).

In view of the role of HGF and/or c-Met in potentiating or promotingsuch diseases or pathological conditions, it would be useful to have ameans of substantially reducing or inhibiting one or more of thebiological effects of HGF and its receptor. Thus a compound that reducesthe effect of HGF would be a useful compound. Compounds of the currentinvention have not been previously described as inhibitors ofangiogenesis such as for the treatment of cancer.

As used herein “c-Met” refers to the receptor for HGF. This includespurified receptor, fragments of receptor, chemically synthesizedfragments of receptor, derivatives or mutated versions of receptor, andfusion proteins comprising the receptor and another protein. “c-Met” asused herein also includes the HGF receptor isolated from a species otherthan humans.

As used herein, the terms “hepatocyte growth factor” and “HGF” refer toa growth factor typically having a structure with six domains (finger,Kringle 1, Kringle 2, Kringle 3, Kringle 4 and serine protease domains).Fragments of HGF constitute HGF with fewer domains and variants of HGFmay have some of the domains of HGF repeated; both are included if theystill retain their respective ability to bind a HGF receptor. The terms“hepatocyte growth factor” and “HGF” include hepatocyte growth factorfrom humans (“huHGF”) and any non-human mammalian species, and inparticular rat HGF. The terms as used herein include mature, pre,pre-pro, and pro forms, purified from a natural source, chemicallysynthesized or recombinantly produced. Human HGF is encoded by the cDNAsequence published by Miyazawa et al. (1989), supra, or Nakamura et al.(1989), supra. The sequences reported by Miyazawa et al. and Nakamura etal. differ in 14 amino acids. The reason for the differences is notentirely clear; polymorphism or cloning artifacts are among thepossibilities. Both sequences are specifically encompassed by theforegoing terms. It will be understood that natural allelic variationsexist and can occur among individuals, as demonstrated by one or moreamino acid differences in the amino acid sequence of each individual.The terms “hepatocyte growth factor” and “HGF” specifically include thedelta 5 huHGF as disclosed by Seki et al., supra.

The terms “HGF receptor” and “c-Met” when used herein refer to acellular receptor for HGF, which typically includes an extracellulardomain, a transmembrane domain and an intracellular domain, as well asvariants and fragments thereof which retain the ability to bind HGF. Theterms “HGF receptor” and “c-Met” include the polypeptide molecule thatcomprises the full-length, native amino acid sequence encoded by thegene variously known as p190.sup.MET. The present definitionspecifically encompasses soluble forms of HGF receptor, and HGF receptorfrom natural sources, synthetically produced in vitro or obtained bygenetic manipulation including methods of recombinant DNA technology.The HGF receptor variants or fragments preferably share at least about65% sequence homology, and more preferably at least about 75% sequencehomology with any domain of the human c-Met amino acid sequencepublished in Rodrigues et al., Mol. Cell. Biol., 11:2962-2970 (1991);Park et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 84:6379-6383 (1987); or Ponzetto etal., Oncogene, 6:553-559 (1991).

The term “mammal” as used herein refers to any mammal classified as amammal, including humans, cows, horses, dogs and cats. In a preferredembodiment of the invention, the mammal is a human.

Given that elevated levels of c-Met and HGF are observed inhypertension, arteriosclerosis, myocardial infarction, and rheumatoidarthritis, nucleic acid ligands will serve as useful therapeutic agentsfor these diseases.

The term “treatment” includes therapeutic treatment as well asprophylactic treatment (either preventing the onset of disordersaltogether or delaying the onset of a pre-clinically evident stage ofdisorders in individuals).

A “pharmaceutically-acceptable derivative” denotes any salt, ester of acompound of this invention, or any other compound which uponadministration to a patient is capable of providing (directly orindirectly) a compound of this invention, or a metabolite or residuethereof, characterized by the ability to inhibit angiogenesis.

The phrase “therapeutically-effective” is intended to qualify the amountof each agent, which will achieve the goal of improvement in disorderseverity and the frequency of incidence over treatment of each agent byitself, while avoiding adverse side effects typically associated withalternative therapies. For example, effective neoplastic therapeuticagents prolong the survivability of the patient, inhibit the rapidlyproliferating cell growth associated with the neoplasm, or effect aregression of the neoplasm.

Preferably the reaction is heatedabove RT, more preferably above 75° C., even more preferably at about110° C. The nitro compound 3 is reduced to the amine 4 such as bytreatment with Fe, HCl and an alcohol such as MeOH, in an appropriatesolvent such as THF. The amine 4 is coupled with a carboxylic acidderivative R¹—OH, such as a carboxylic acid or anhydride, in thepresence of a coupling agent such as HATU, or with PyBOP and base suchas DIEA, to yield the desired compounds 5.

Alternatively, compounds of the invention where X is O and R¹ is2-oxopyrrolyl can be prepared by the method described in Scheme 2.

The nitro compound 8 is reduced to the amine9 such as by treatment with Fe, HCl and an alcohol such as MeOH, in anappropriate solvent such as THF. The amine 9 is coupled with acarboxylic acid, in the presence of a coupling agent such as HATU toyield the desired compounds 10.

Alternatively, compounds of the invention where R¹ is 2-oxoimidazolylcan be prepared by the method described in Scheme 3. The amine 9 can beactivated such as with a chloroformate to form the caarbamate 11. Thesubstituted imidazolidin-2-one is treated with base, such as NaH, in anappropriate solvent such as DMF and added to the carbamate 11 to providethe desired compounds 12.

Compounds of the invention where R¹ is 2-oxopyrrolyl can be prepared bythe method described in Scheme 4. The N-protected 2-oxopyrrolidine 13 isalkylated such as by treatment with base, e.g. LDA, in a suitablesolvent such as THF, followed by addition of a compound with anappropriate leaving group, such as a halo substituent. The reactiontemperature is preferably below RT, preferably at about 0° C. Followingdeprotection, such as by treatment with TFA, where the amine isprotected with a BOC group, the free amine 15 is treated with achlorformate in the presence of base, such as TEA, to form the activeester 16. Treatment with the ester 16 with an amine yields the desiredamides 17.

Substituted pyridazines 21 of the invention can be prepared by themethod described in Scheme 5. Hydrazines 18 are reacted with oxaldehydethen with 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione followed by acid, such asacetic acid, and piperidines, to form the diaza butadiene-4-ylidene 19.Cyclization, such as by treatment with base, e.g. sodium methoxide,yields the pyridazine carboxylic acid 20.

Preferably the reaction is heatedabove RT, more preferably at about 65° C. The amine 41 is coupled with acarboxylic acid, in the presence of a coupling agent such as HBTU toyield the desired compounds 42.

The starting compounds defined in Schemes 1-10 may also be present withfunctional groups in protected form if necessary and/or in the form ofsalts, provided a salt-forming group is present and the reaction in saltform is possible. If so desired, one compound of Formula I can beconverted into another compound of Formula I or a N-oxide thereof; acompound of Formula I can be converted into a salt; a salt of a compoundof Formula I can be converted into the free compound or another salt;and/or a mixture of isomeric compounds of Formula I can be separatedinto the individual isomers.

N-Oxides can be obtained in a known matter by reacting a compound ofFormula I with hydrogen peroxide, oxone, or a peracid, e.g. mCPBA, in aninert solvent, e.g. CH₂Cl₂, or a mixture of H₂O and an alcohol such asMeOH or EtOH, at a temperature between about −10-35° C., such as about0° C.—RT.

If one or more other functional groups, for example carboxy, hydroxy,amino, or mercapto, are or need to be protected in a compound of FormulaI or in the preparation of compounds of Formula I, because they shouldnot take part in the reaction, these are such groups as are usually usedin the synthesis of peptide compounds, and also of cephalosporins andpenicillins, as well as nucleic acid derivatives and sugars.

The protecting groups may already be present in precursors and shouldprotect the functional groups concerned against unwanted secondaryreactions, such as acylations, etherifications, esterifications,oxidations, solvolysis, and similar reactions. It is a characteristic ofprotecting groups that they lend themselves readily, i.e. withoutundesired secondary reactions, to removal, typically by solvolysis,reduction, photolysis or also by enzyme activity, for example underconditions analogous to physiological conditions, and that they are notpresent in the end-products. The specialist knows, or can easilyestablish, which protecting groups are suitable with the reactionsmentioned above and hereinafter.

The protection of such functional groups by such protecting groups, theprotecting groups themselves, and their removal reactions are describedfor example in standard reference works, such as J. F. W. McOmie,“Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry”, Plenum Press, London and NewYork (1973), in T. W. Greene, “Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis”,Wiley, New York (1981), in “The Peptides”, Volume 3, E. Gross and J.Meienhofer editors, Academic Press, London and New York (1981), in“Methoden der Organischen Chemie” (Methods of Organic Chemistry), HoubenWeyl, 4^(th) edition, Volume 15/1, Georg Thieme Verlag, Stuttgart(1974), in H.-D. Jakubke and H. Jescheit, “Aminosäuren, Peptide,Proteine” (Amino acids, Peptides, Proteins), Verlag Chemie, Weinheim,Deerfield Beach, and Base1 (1982), and in Jochen Lehmann, “Chemie derKohlenhydrate: Monosaccharide und Derivate” (Chemistry of Carbohydrates:Monosaccharides and Derivatives), Georg Thieme Verlag, Stuttgart (1974).

In the additional process steps, carried out as desired, functionalgroups of the starting compounds which should not take part in thereaction may be present in unprotected form or may be protected forexample by one or more of the protecting groups mentioned above under“protecting groups”. The protecting groups are then wholly or partlyremoved according to one of the methods described there.

Salts of a compound of Formula I with a salt-forming group may beprepared in a manner known per se. Acid addition salts of compounds ofFormula I may thus be obtained by treatment with an acid or with asuitable anion exchange reagent. A salt with two acid molecules (forexample, a dihalogenide of a compound of Formula I) may also beconverted into a salt with one acid molecule per compound (for example,a monohalogenide); this may be done by heating to a melt, or for exampleby heating as a solid under a high vacuum at elevated temperature, forexample from 130 to 170° C., one molecule of the acid being expelled permolecule of a compound of Formula I.

Salts can usually be converted to free compounds, e.g. by treating withsuitable basic agents, for example with alkali metal carbonates, alkalimetal hydrogen carbonates, or alkali metal hydroxides, typicallypotassium carbonate or sodium hydroxide.

All process steps described here can be carried out under known reactionconditions, preferably under those specifically mentioned, in theabsence of or usually in the presence of solvents or diluents,preferably such as are inert to the reagents used and able to dissolvethese, in the absence or presence of catalysts, condensing agents orneutralizing agents, for example ion exchangers, typically cationexchangers, for example in the H⁺ form, depending on the type ofreaction and/or reactants at reduced, normal, or elevated temperature,for example in the range from about −100° C. to about 190° C.,preferably from about −80° C. to about 150° C., for example at about−80° C. to about 60° C., at RT, at about −20° C. to about 40° C. or atthe boiling point of the solvent used, under atmospheric pressure or ina closed vessel, where appropriate under pressure, and/or in an inertatmosphere, for example under argon or nitrogen.

Salts may be present in all starting compounds and transients, if thesecontain salt-forming groups. Salts may also be present during thereaction of such compounds, provided the reaction is not therebydisturbed.

In certain cases, typically in hydrogenation processes, it is possibleto achieve stereoselective reactions, allowing for example easierrecovery of individual isomers.

The solvents from which those can be selected which are suitable for thereaction in question include for example H₂O, esters, typically loweralkyl-lower alkanoates, e.g., EtOAc, ethers, typically aliphatic ethers,e.g., Et₂O, or cyclic ethers, e.g., THF, liquid aromatic hydrocarbons,typically benzene or toluene, alcohols, typically MeOH, EtOH or1-propanol, IPOH, nitriles, typically CH₃CN, halogenated hydrocarbons,typically CH₂Cl₂, acid amides, typically DMF, bases, typicallyheterocyclic nitrogen bases, e.g. pyridine, carboxylic acids, typicallylower alkanecarboxylic acids, e.g., AcOH, carboxylic acid anhydrides,typically lower alkane acid anhydrides, e.g., acetic anhydride, cyclic,linear, or branched hydrocarbons, typically cyclohexane, hexane, orisopentane, or mixtures of these solvents, e.g., aqueous solutions,unless otherwise stated in the description of the process. Such solventmixtures may also be used in processing, for example in chromatography.

The invention relates also to those forms of the process in which onestarts from a compound obtainable at any stage as a transient andcarries out the missing steps, or breaks off the process at any stage,or forms a starting material under the reaction conditions, or uses saidstarting material in the form of a reactive derivative or salt, orproduces a compound obtainable by means of the process according to theinvention and processes the said compound in situ. In the preferredembodiment, one starts from those starting materials, which lead to thecompounds described above as preferred.

The compounds of Formula I, including their salts, are also obtainablein the form of hydrates, or their crystals can include for example thesolvent used for crystallization (present as solvates).

New starting materials and/or intermediates, as well as processes forthe preparation thereof, are likewise the subject of this invention. Inthe preferred embodiment, such starting materials are used and reactionconditions so selected as to enable the preferred compounds to beobtained.

Starting materials of the invention, are known, are commerciallyavailable, or can be synthesized in analogy to or according to methodsthat are known in the art.

In the preparation of starting materials, existing functional groups,which do not participate in the reaction, should, if necessary, beprotected. Preferred protecting groups, their introduction and theirremoval are described above or in the examples.

All remaining starting materials are known, capable of being preparedaccording to known processes, or commercially obtainable; in particular,they can be prepared using processes as described in the examples.

Compounds of the present invention can possess, in general, one or moreasymmetric carbon atoms and are thus capable of existing in the form ofoptical isomers as well as in the form of racemic or non-racemicmixtures thereof. The optical isomers can be obtained by resolution ofthe racemic mixtures according to conventional processes, e.g., byformation of diastereoisomeric salts, by treatment with an opticallyactive acid or base. Examples of appropriate acids are tartaric,diacetyltartaric, dibenzoyltartaric, ditoluoyltartaric, andcamphorsulfonic acid and then separation of the mixture ofdiastereoisomers by crystallization followed by liberation of theoptically active bases from these salts. A different process forseparation of optical isomers involves the use of a chiralchromatography column optimally chosen to maximize the separation of theenantiomers. Still another available method involves synthesis ofcovalent diastereoisomeric molecules by reacting compounds of theinvention with an optically pure acid in an activated form or anoptically pure isocyanate. The synthesized diastereoisomers can beseparated by conventional means such as chromatography, distillation,crystallization or sublimation, and then hydrolyzed to deliver theenantiomerically pure compound. The optically active compounds of theinvention can likewise be obtained by using optically active startingmaterials. These isomers may be in the form of a free acid, a free base,an ester or a salt.

The compounds of this invention may contain one or more asymmetriccenters and thus occur as racemates and racemic mixtures, scalemicmixtures, single enantiomers, individual diastereomers anddiastereomeric mixtures. All such isomeric forms of these compounds areexpressly included in the present invention.

The compounds of this invention may also be represented in multipletautomeric forms, for example, as illustrated below:

The invention expressly includes all tautomeric forms of the compoundsdescribed herein.

The compounds may also occur in cis- or trans- or E- or Z-double bondisomeric forms. All such isomeric forms of such compounds are expresslyincluded in the present invention. All crystal forms of the compoundsdescribed herein are expressly included in the present invention.

Substituents on ring moieties (e.g., phenyl, thienyl, etc.) may beattached to specific atoms, whereby they are intended to be fixed tothat atom, or they may be drawn unattached to a specific atom, wherebythey are intended to be attached at any available atom that is notalready substituted by an atom other than H (hydrogen).

The compounds of this invention may contain heterocyclic ring systemsattached to another ring system. Such heterocyclic ring systems may beattached through a carbon atom or a heteroatom in the ring system.

Alternatively, a compound of any of the formulas delineated herein maybe synthesized according to any of the processes delineated herein. Inthe processes delineated herein, the steps may be performed in analternate order and may be preceded, or followed, by additionalprotection/deprotection steps as necessary. The processes may furthercomprise use of appropriate reaction conditions, including inertsolvents, additional reagents, such as bases (e.g., LDA, DIEA, pyridine,K₂CO₃, and the like), catalysts, and salt forms of the above. Theintermediates may be isolated or carried on in situ, with or withoutpurification. Purification methods are known in the art and include, forexample, crystallization, chromatography (liquid and gas phase, and thelike), extraction, distillation, trituration, reverse phase HPLC and thelike. Reactions conditions such as temperature, duration, pressure, andatmosphere (inert gas, ambient) are known in the art and may be adjustedas appropriate for the reaction.

As can be appreciated by the skilled artisan, the above syntheticschemes are not intended to comprise a comprehensive list of all meansby which the compounds described and claimed in this application may besynthesized. Further methods will be evident to those of ordinary skillin the art. Additionally, the various synthetic steps described abovemay be performed in an alternate sequence or order to give the desiredcompounds. Synthetic chemistry transformations and protecting groupmethodologies (protection and deprotection) useful in synthesizing theinhibitor compounds described herein are known in the art and include,for example, those such as described in R. Larock, “ComprehensiveOrganic Transformations”, VCH Publishers (1989); T. W. Greene and P. G.M. Wuts, “Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis”, 3^(rd) edition, JohnWiley and Sons (1999); L.

Example 135

Step 1: Thiophen-3-amine. A 200-mL flask equipped with a refluxcondenser and a magnetic stirbar was charged with methyl3-aminothiophene-2-carboxylate (20.00 g, 127.2 mmol) and suspended in 2N NaOH (140 mL, 2 equiv), then was heated to reflux for 4 h. The flaskwas removed from the oil bath and immersed in an ice/water bath andneutralized to pH 5 by the addition of conc. HCl (about 20 mL). Themixture was extracted with EtOAc (2×100 mL), and the combined organicextracts were washed with sat'd brine (100 mL) then dried over Na₂SO₄.The organic layer was dried, filtered and concentrated to a brown oil.The oil was dried under vacuum and dissolved in 1-propanol (60 mL, 5vol), and treated with oxalic acid (11.1 g, 1.0 equiv). The resultingslurry was stirred at 40 deg C. (oil bath) for 45 min, then theprecipitate was isolated by vacuum filtration and washed with cold1-propanol. The light brown solid (6.9 g, 30% y) was dried under vacuum.The product was isolated as the likely oxalate salt (30% yield). Theproduct was used as is in the next step.

Step 2:2,2-dimethyl-5-((thiophen-3-ylamino)methylene)-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione. A200-mL, rb flask equipped with a magnetic stirbar and a reflux condenserwas charged with 3-aminothiophene oxalate (6.9 g, 36 mmol) andtriethoxymethane (61 ml, 365 mmol) under N₂. After stirring for 15 min,2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione (5.3 g, 36 mmol) was added in oneportion to the light brown slurry, and the mixture was heated to 85 degC. in an oil bath overnight. The next day, a dark precipitate had formedand the mixture was cooled to ambient temp. The mixture was then cooledin an ice bath and the mixture was vacuum filtered through paper. Thebrown-red solids were washed with MTBE, air dried, then dried undervacuum to yield2,2-dimethyl-5-((thiophen-3-ylamino)methylene)-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione(6.73 g, 73% yield).

Step 3: thieno[3,2-b]pyridin-7-ol. A 200-mL rb flask was charged with2,2-dimethyl-5-((thiophen-3-ylamino)methylene)-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione(6.73 g, 26.6 mmol) and diphenyl ether (25 mL) and heated to about 200deg C. for about 30-45 min and the mixture was allowed to cool to rtovernight. The mixture was scraped down with a spatula and diluted withMTBE. The mixture was filtered through paper and washed with MTBE. Thebrown solid was air dried to yield thieno[3,2-b]pyridin-7-ol.

Step 4: 7-chlorothieno[3,2-b]pyridine. A 2-L, 3-neck, rb flask equippedwith a mechanical overhead stirrer, a 250-mL addition funnel, and athermocouple w/N₂-inlet adapter was charged withthieno[3,2-b]pyridin-7-ol (144 g, 952 mmol), chloroform (700 mL) andanhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide (100 ml, 1297 mmol). The heterogeneousmixture was cooled in an ice bath with stirring, then oxalyl dichloride(166 ml, 1905 mmol) was added dropwise via the addition funnel. Towardsthe end of the addition, the exotherm had diminished so the remainingreagent was added more quickly, which resulted in rapid off-gassing andthe eruption of a portion of the contents out of the vessel. Uponcomplete addition, the mixture was allowed to stir out for 2 h, at whichpoint LC-MS analysis indicated only about 10% conversion to the desiredproduct (71556-13-A). The ice bath was removed, and the mixture washeated to reflux with a mantle. The heterogeneous mixture quickly turnedhomogeneous upon reaching temperature, and LC-MS indicated completeconversion after 1 h @reflux (71556-13-B). After standing at ambienttemp over the weekend, an orange solid had formed from the dark brownsupernate. The mixture was cooled in an ice bath, then diluted with MTBE(800 mL), resulting in the exothermic precipitation of copious amountsof a dense, mustard-brown solid. The solid was isolated by vacuumfiltration and washed with MTBE until the filtrate was colorless toyield the solid and a cloudy, bright orange filtrate. The solid productwas then carefully partitioned between DCM (1 L) and sat'd aq. NaHCO₃ (1L). The phases were mixed and the light brown aqueous layer was backextracted with DCM (500 mL). The combined organic layers were washedwith sat'd brine, then dried over anhydrous Na₂SO₄. MTBE (500 mL) wasadded, then concentrated by about 200 mL, then hexane (500 mL) was addedto form a dark brown precipitate. The mixture was further concentratedby 100 mL, then cooled in an ice bath. The mixture was then filtered andwashed with hexane/MTBE (200 mL). The filtrate was then concentrated todryness to yield the title compound as a light brown oil thatcrystallized to a dark rust colored, oily solid (97.7 g, 60.5% yield).

Step 5: lithium 7-chlorothieno[3,2-b]pyridine-2-carboxylate. A solutionof 7-chlorothieno[3,2-b]pyridine (40 g, 0.236 mol) in THF (400 mL) wascooled to −78 deg C., dropwise added butyl lithium (1.5 M in hexanes,103.8 mL, 0.259 mol). After stirring for 1 h, the mixture was quenchedwith CO₂ fgas with the formation of precipitate. The mixture was allowedto warm to rt, diluted with Et2O and filtered slowly. The filter cakewas washed with ether and dried under vacuum. The crude mixture wasdissolved in methanol and stirred with activated carbon and filteredthrough a pad of celite and the volume concentrated. The solution wastriturated with ether and the solid collected and further trituratedwith isopropanol to provide the title compound: MS (ESI pos. ion) m/z:214 (its corresponding acid form).

Human PC3 and mouse CT26 cells are available obtained from ATCC. Thecells were cultured in a growth medium containing RPMI 1640,penicillin/streptomycin/glutamine (1×) and 5% FBS. 2×10⁴ cells in mediumwere plated per well in a 96 well plate and incubated at 37° C.overnight. The cells were serum-starved by replacing the growth mediawith basic medium (DMEM low glucose+0.1 BSA, 120 μL per well) at 37° C.for 16 h. Compounds (either 1 mM and 0.2 mM) in 100% DMSO were seriallydiluted (1:3) 3333 fold on a 96 well plate, diluting 1:3 with DMSO fromcolumn 1 to 11 (columns 6 and 12 receive no compound). Compound samples(2.4 μL per well) were diluted with basic medium (240 μL) in a 96 wellplate. The cells were washed once with basic medium (GIBCO, DMEM11885-076) then compound solution was added (100 μL). The cells wereincubated at 37° C. for 1 h. A (2 mg/mL) solution of CHO-HGF (7.5 μL)was diluted with 30 mL basic medium to provide a final concentration of500 ng/mL. This HGF-containing media (120 μL) was transferred to a 96well plate. Compounds (1.2 μL) was added to the HGF-containing media andmixed well. The mixture of media/HGF/compound (100 μL) was added to thecells (final HGF concentration—250 ng/mL) then incubated at 37° C. for10 min. A cell lysate buffer (20 mL) was prepared containing 1% TritonX-100, 50 mM Tris pH 8.0, 100 mM NaCl, Protease inhibitor (Sigma,#P-8340) 200 μL, Roche Protease inhibitor (Complete, # 1-697-498) 2tablets, Phosphatase Inhibitor II (Sigma, #P-5726) 200 μL, and a sodiumvanadate solution (containing 900 μL PBS, 100 μL 300 mM NaVO₃, 6 μL H₂O₂(30% stock) and stirred at RT for 15 min) (90 μL). The cells were washedonce with ice cold 1×PBS (GIBCO, #14190-136), then lysis buffer (60 μL)was added and the cells were incubated on ice for 20 min.

The IGEN assay was performed as follows: Dynabeads M-280 streptavidinbeads were pre-incubated with biotinylated anti-human HGFR (240 μLanti-human-HGFR(R&D system, BAF527 or BAF328)@100 μg/mL+360 μL Beads(IGEN #10029+5.4 PL buffer—PBS/1% BSA/0.1% Tween20) by rotating for 30min at RT.

HUVEC Proliferation Assay

Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial cells are purchased from Clonetics,Inc., as cryopreserved cells harvested from a pool of donors. Thesecells, at passage 1, are thawed and expanded in EBM-2 complete medium,until passage 2 or 3. The cells are trypsinized, washed in DMEM+10%FBS+antibiotics, and spun at 1000 rpm for 10 min. Prior tocentrifugation of the cells, a small amount is collected for a cellcount. After centrifugation, the medium is discarded, and the cells areresuspended in the appropriate volume of DMEM+10% FBS+antibiotics toachieve a concentration of 3×10⁵ cells/mL. Another cell count isperformed to confirm the cell concentration. The cells are diluted to3×10⁴ cells/mL in DMEM+10% FBS+antibiotics, and 100 μL of cells areadded to a 96-well plate. The cells are incubated at 37° C. for 22 h.

Prior to the completion of the incubation period, compound dilutions areprepared. Five-point, five-fold serial dilutions are prepared in DMSO,at concentrations 400-fold greater than the final concentrationsdesired. 2.5 μL of each compound dilution are diluted further in a totalof 1 mL DMEM+10% FBS+antibiotics (400× dilution). Medium containing0.25% DMSO is also prepared for the 0 μM compound sample. At the 22 htimepoint, the medium is removed from the cells, and 100 μL of eachcompound dilution is added. The cells are incubated at 37° C. for 2-3 h.

During the compound pre-incubation period, the growth factors arediluted to the appropriate concentrations. Solutions of DMEM+10%FBS+antibiotics, containing either VEGF or bFGF at the followingconcentrations: 50, 10, 2, 0.4, 0.08, and 0 ng/mL are prepared. For thecompound-treated cells, solutions of VEGF at 550 ng/mL or bFGF at 220ng/mL for 50 ng/mL or 20 ng/mL final concentrations, respectively, areprepared since 10 μL of each will be added to the cells (110 μL finalvolume). At the appropriate time after adding the compounds, the growthfactors are added. VEGF is added to one set of plates, while bFGF isadded to another set of plates. For the growth factor control curves,the media on wells B4-G6 of plates 1 and 2 are replaced with mediacontaining VEGF or bFGF at the varying concentrations (50-0 ng/mL). Thecells are incubated at 37° C. for an additional 72 h.

At the completion of the 72 h incubation period, the medium is removed,and the cells are washed twice with PBS. After the second wash with PBS,the plates are tapped gently to remove excess PBS, and the cells areplaced at −70° C. for at least 30 min. The cells are thawed and analyzedusing the CyQuant fluorescent dye (Molecular Probes C-7026), followingthe manufacturer's recommendations. The plates are read on aVictor/Wallac 1420 workstation at 485 nm/530 nm (excitation/emission).Raw data are collected and analyzed using a 4-parameter fit equation inXLFit. IC₅₀ values are then determined.

Rat Corneal Neovascularization Micropocket Model

In Life Aspects: Female Sprague Dawley rats weighing approximately 250 gwere randomized into one of five treatment groups. Pretreatment with thevehicle or compound was administered orally, 24 h prior to surgery andcontinued once a day for seven additional days. On the day of surgery,the rats were temporarily anesthetized in an Isofluorane gas chamber(delivering 2.5 L/min oxygen+5% Isofluorane). An othoscope was thenplaced inside the mouth of the animal to visualize the vocal cords. Atip-blunted wire was advanced in between the vocal cords and used as aguide for the placement of an endotracheal Teflon tube (Small Parts Inc.TFE-standard Wall R-SWTT-18). A volume-controlled ventilator (HarvardApparatus, Inc. Model 683) was connected to the endotracheal tube todeliver a mixture of oxygen and 3% Isofluorane. Upon achieving deepanesthesia, the whiskers were cut short and the eye areas and eyesgently washed with Betadine soap and rinsed with sterile saline. Thecorneas were irrigated with one to two drops of Proparacaine HClophthalmic topical anesthetic solution (0.5%) (Bausch and LombPharmaceuticals, Tampa Fla.). The rat was then positioned under thedissecting microscope and the corneal surface brought into focus. Avertical incision was made on the midline of the cornea using a diamondblade knife. A pocket was created by using fine scissors to separate theconnective tissue layers of the stroma, tunneling towards the limbus ofthe eye. The distance between the apex of the pocket and the limbus wasapproximately 1.5 mm. After the pocket had been made, the soakednitrocellulose disk filter (Gelman Sciences, Ann Arbor Mich.) wasinserted under the lip of the pocket. This surgical procedure wasperformed on both eyes. rHu-bFGF soaked disks were placed into the righteye, and the rHu-VEGF soaked disks were placed into the left eye.Vehicle soaked disks were placed in both eyes. The disk was pushed intoposition at the desired distance from the limbal vessels. Ophthalmicantibiotic ointment was applied to the eye to prevent drying andinfection. After seven days, the rats were euthanized by CO₂asphyxiation, and the eyes enucleated. The retinal hemisphere of the eyewas windowed to facilitate fixation, and the eye placed into formalinovernight.

Post Mortem Aspects: After 24 h in fixative, the corneal region ofinterest was dissected out from the eye, using fine forceps and arazorblade. The retinal hemisphere was trimmed off and the lensextracted and discarded. The corneal dome was bisected and thesuperfluous cornea trimmed off. The iris, conjunctiva and associatedlimbal glands were then carefully teased away. Final cuts were made togenerate a square 3×3 mm containing the disk, the limbus, and the entirezone of neovascularization.

Gross Image Recording: The corneal specimens were digitally photographedusing a Sony CatsEye DKC5000 camera (A.G. Heinz, Irvine Calif.) mountedon a Nikon SMZ-U stereo microscope (A.G. Heinz). The corneas weresubmerged in distilled water and photographed via trans-illumination atapproximately 5.0 diameters magnification.

Image analysis: Numerical endpoints were generated using digitalmicrographs collected from the whole mount corneas after trimming andwere used for image analysis on the Metamorph image analysis system(Universal Imaging Corporation, West Chester Pa.). Three measurementswere taken: Disk placement distance from the limbus, number of vesselsintersecting a 2.0 mm perpendicular line at the midpoint of the diskplacement distance, and percent blood vessel area of the diffusiondetermined by thresholding.

General Formulations:

0.1% BSA in PBS vehicle: 0.025 g of BSA was added to 25.0 mL of sterile1× phosphate buffered saline, gently shaken until fully dissolved, andfiltered at 0.2 μM. Individual 1.0 mL samples were aliquoted into 25single-use vials, and stored at −20° C. until use. For the rHu-bFGFdisks, a vial of this 0.1% BSA solution was allowed to thaw at roomtemperature. Once thawed, 10 μL of a 100 mM stock solution of DTT wasadded to the 1 ml BSA vial to yield a final concentration of 1 mM DTT in0.1% BSA.rhu-VEGF Dilutions: Prior to the disk implant surgery, 23.8 μL of the0.1% BSA vehicle above was added to a 10 μg rHu-VEGF lyophilized vialyielding a final concentration of 10 μM.rHu-bFGF: Stock concentration of 180 ng/μL: R&D rHu-bFGF: Added 139 μLof the appropriate vehicle above to the 25 μg vial lyophilized vial.13.3 μL of the [180 ng/μL] stock vial and added 26.6 μL of vehicle toyield a final concentration of 3.75 μM concentration.Nitro-cellulose disk preparation: The tip of a 20-gauge needle was cutoff square and beveled with emery paper to create a punch. This tip wasthen used to cut out ≅0.5 mm diameter disks from a nitrocellulose filterpaper sheet (Gelman Sciences). Prepared disks were then placed intoEppendorf microfuge tubes containing solutions of either 0.1% BSA in PBSvehicle, 10 μM rHu-VEGF (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, Minn.), or 3.75 μMrHu-bFGF (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, Minn.) and allowed to soak for 45-60min before use. Each nitrocellulose filter disk absorbs approximately0.1 μL of solution.

The compounds and compositions ofthe present invention may, for example, be administered orally,mucosally, topically, rectally, pulmonarily such as by inhalation spray,or parentally including intravascularly, intravenously,intraperitoneally, subcutaneously, intramuscularly intrasternally andinfusion techniques, in dosage unit formulations containing conventionalpharmaceutically acceptable carriers, adjuvants, and vehicles.

The pharmaceutically active compounds of this invention can be processedin accordance with conventional methods of pharmacy to produce medicinalagents for administration to patients, including humans and othermammals.

For oral administration, the pharmaceutical composition may be in theform of, for example, a tablet, capsule, suspension or liquid. Thepharmaceutical composition is preferably made in the form of a dosageunit containing a particular amount of the active ingredient. Examplesof such dosage units are tablets or capsules. For example, these maycontain an amount of active ingredient from about 1 to 2000 mg,preferably from about 1 to 500 mg. A suitable daily dose for a human orother mammal may vary widely depending on the condition of the patientand other factors, but, once again, can be determined using routinemethods.

The amount of compounds which are administered and the dosage regimenfor treating a disease condition with the compounds and/or compositionsof this invention depends on a variety of factors, including the age,weight, sex and medical condition of the subject, the type of disease,the severity of the disease, the route and frequency of administration,and the particular compound employed. Thus, the dosage regimen may varywidely, but can be determined routinely using standard methods. A dailydose of about 0.01 to 500 mg/kg, preferably between about 0.01 and about50 mg/kg, and more preferably about 0.01 and about 30 mg/kg body weightmay be appropriate. The daily dose can be administered in one to fourdoses per day.

For therapeutic purposes, the active compounds of this invention areordinarily combined with one or more adjuvants appropriate to theindicated route of administration. If administered per os, the compoundsmay be admixed with lactose, sucrose, starch powder, cellulose esters ofalkanoic acids, cellulose alkyl esters, talc, stearic acid, magnesiumstearate, magnesium oxide, sodium and calcium salts of phosphoric andsulfuric acids, gelatin, acacia gum, sodium alginate,polyvinylpyrrolidone, and/or polyvinyl alcohol, and then tableted orencapsulated for convenient administration. Such capsules or tablets maycontain a controlled-release formulation as may be provided in adispersion of active compound in hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose.

In the case of psoriasis and other skin conditions, it may be preferableto apply a topical preparation of compounds of this invention to theaffected area two to four times a day.

Formulations suitable for topical administration include liquid orsemi-liquid preparations suitable for penetration through the skin(e.g., liniments, lotions, ointments, creams, or pastes) and dropssuitable for administration to the eye, ear, or nose. A suitable topicaldose of active ingredient of a compound of the invention is 0.1 mg to150 mg administered one to four, preferably one or two times daily. Fortopical administration, the active ingredient may comprise from 0.001%to 10% w/w, e.g., from 1% to 2% by weight of the formulation, althoughit may comprise as much as 10% w/w, but preferably not more than 5% w/w,and more preferably from 0.1% to 1% of the formulation.

When formulated in an ointment, the active ingredients may be employedwith either paraffinic or a water-miscible ointment base. Alternatively,the active ingredients may be formulated in a cream with an oil-in-watercream base. If desired, the aqueous phase of the cream base may include,for example at least 30% w/w of a polyhydric alcohol such as propyleneglycol, butane-1,3-diol, mannitol, sorbitol, glycerol, polyethyleneglycol and mixtures thereof. The topical formulation may desirablyinclude a compound, which enhances absorption or penetration of theactive ingredient through the skin or other affected areas. Examples ofsuch dermal penetration enhancers include DMSO and related analogs.

The compounds of this invention can also be administered by atransdermal device. Preferably transdermal administration will beaccomplished using a patch either of the reservoir and porous membranetype or of a solid matrix variety. In either case, the active agent isdelivered continuously from the reservoir or microcapsules through amembrane into the active agent permeable adhesive, which is in contactwith the skin or mucosa of the recipient. If the active agent isabsorbed through the skin, a controlled and predetermined flow of theactive agent is administered to the recipient. In the case ofmicrocapsules, the encapsulating agent may also function as themembrane.

The oily phase of the emulsions of this invention may be constitutedfrom known ingredients in a known manner. While the phase may comprisemerely an emulsifier, it may comprise a mixture of at least oneemulsifier with a fat or an oil or with both a fat and an oil.Preferably, a hydrophilic emulsifier is included together with alipophilic emulsifier, which acts as a stabilizer. It is also preferredto include both an oil and a fat. Together, the emulsifier(s) with orwithout stabilizer(s) make-up the so-called emulsifying wax, and the waxtogether with the oil and fat make up the so-called emulsifying ointmentbase, which forms the oily dispersed phase of the cream formulations.Emulsifiers and emulsion stabilizers suitable for use in the formulationof the present invention include Tween 60, Span 80, cetostearyl alcohol,myristyl alcohol, glyceryl monostearate, sodium lauryl sulfate, glyceryldistearate alone or with a wax; or other materials well known in theart.

The choice of suitable oils or fats for the formulation is based onachieving the desired cosmetic properties, since the solubility of theactive compound in most oils likely to be used in pharmaceuticalemulsion formulations is very low. Thus, the cream should preferably bea non-greasy, non-staining and washable product with suitableconsistency to avoid leakage from tubes or other containers. Straight orbranched chain, mono- or dibasic alkyl esters such as di-isoadipate,isocetyl stearate, propylene glycol diester of coconut fatty acids,isopropyl myristate, decyl oleate, isopropyl palmitate, butyl stearate,2-ethylhexyl palmitate or a blend of branched chain esters may be used.These may be used alone or in combination depending on the propertiesrequired. Alternatively, high melting point lipids such as white softparaffin and/or liquid paraffin or other mineral oils can be used.

Formulations suitable for topical administration to the eye also includeeye drops wherein the active ingredients are dissolved or suspended insuitable carrier, especially an aqueous solvent for the activeingredients. The active ingredients are preferably present in suchformulations in a concentration of 0.5 to 20%, advantageously 0.5 to 10%and particularly about 1.5% w/w.

Formulations for parenteral administration may be in the form of aqueousor non-aqueous isotonic sterile injection solutions or suspensions.These solutions and suspensions may be prepared from sterile powders orgranules using one or more of the carriers or diluents mentioned for usein the formulations for oral administration or by using other suitabledispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. The compounds may bedissolved in water, polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, ethanol, cornoil, cottonseed oil, peanut oil, sesame oil, benzyl alcohol, sodiumchloride, tragacanth gum, and/or various buffers. Other adjuvants andmodes of administration are well and widely known in the pharmaceuticalart. The active ingredient may also be administered by injection as acomposition with suitable carriers including saline, dextrose, or water,or with cyclodextrin (ie. Captisol), cosolvent solubilization (ie.propylene glycol) or micellar solubilization (ie. Tween 80).

The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectablesolution or suspension in a non-toxic parenterally acceptable diluent orsolvent, for example as a solution in 1,3-butanediol. Among theacceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water,Ringer's solution, and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition,sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent orsuspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil may be employed,including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids suchas oleic acid find use in the preparation of injectables.

For pulmonary administration, the pharmaceutical composition may beadministered in the form of an aerosol or with an inhaler including drypowder aerosol.

Suppositories for rectal administration of the drug can be prepared bymixing the drug with a suitable non-irritating excipient such as cocoabutter and polyethylene glycols that are solid at ordinary temperaturesbut liquid at the rectal temperature and will therefore melt in therectum and release the drug.

The pharmaceutical compositions may be subjected to conventionalpharmaceutical operations such as sterilization and/or may containconventional adjuvants, such as preservatives, stabilizers, wettingagents, emulsifiers, buffers etc. Tablets and pills can additionally beprepared with enteric coatings. Such compositions may also compriseadjuvants, such as wetting, sweetening, flavoring, and perfuming agents.
